In
the absence of Pres. Roger, below is my report. Thanks to Sue for
acting at presentations in his place & to the club for catering &
bar service.

Despite
the great weather we had a disappointing field of 67 men & 16
ladies for the last of our Consistency events. Captain Russ should
have the full trophy results out shortly & we live in hope of
decent weather for the final round of the Patron's trophy at Babinda
next week.

The
course was in great condition with decent run, the greens fast &
some pins in tricky positions to keep us on our toes. Welcome to
visitor Phil Thompson from Balgal golf club.

The
day was sponsored by Deb
Duffy Real Estate & we
thank her for her support.

Our
next game is a single stableford
at Babinda & no doubt the club will have a cheat sheet with the
distances to the various drains as usual.
Also, if anyone is taking a buggy & will have a spare seat,
please let us know, as we have someone interested in playing who is
unable to walk & the club only has one buggy available.

Todays’ event was
a single stableford with the results counting toward the Consistency
Trophy. The field was a disappointing 64 men and 19 women.

The
Mareeba course is beginning to dry out on the fairways so there was
plenty of distance to be gained on drives which is pleasing for us
oldies.

Our sponsor today is
SAVANNAH LIFESTYLE RESORTS and I would like to thank them for
the vouchers the winners and runners up received as well as the
presentations to the interim winners of the Savannah Cup.

Our game next week is a single stableford Consistency event at Mareeba. I'm told the course is fine with no unusual hazards. (The final round for the Consistency trophy will be held at Cairns the week after.)

The game is sponsored by Savannah Lifestyle Resorts & the winners & runners up of the second quarter ending in August of the Savannah Cup will also be presented on that day. That will leave two months for you to sprint to the finish of that particular event, which concludes at the end of October.

Today we played a
stableford event at the Gordonvale club and it was the penultimate
round of the Consistency Trophy, with the last round being at Mareeba
next week.

The rain yesterday
and overnight was obviously enough to give the less dedicated golfers
cold feet, but they were the losers as the rain eased around 7.00 AM
and those more robust individuals who decided to play were treated to
an excellent day for golf. The numbers were 55 men and 9 women.

The sponsor for
today was BROTHERS LEAGUES CLUB and I remind the lucky
winners that the vouchers can be used at either Brothers or Fuller
Sports.

I also remind
members that the season is nearing its end and as usual our AGM is in
early November so if you enjoy being involved in our club you may
like to consider a position on our committee. When one looks at the
average age of our current committee it is obvious that some younger
“blood” would be an advantage for the long term health of our
club.

In
the absence of Pres Roger, who is getting another eye op, below is my
report. I'm sure all will wish him well & a speedy return,
especially Greg Gibb to whom he gave all his Presidential stuff.

Perhaps
because of the late change of venue after lousy weather reports from
Millaa Millaa, we had a poor field of only 37 players at Gordonvale,
29 men & 8 ladies, so only one grade was awarded for the men.

Thanks
to Gordonvale for hosting us at such short notice. The course was
in good condition with the greens improving gradually.

The
day was sponsored by Brothers Leagues Club & we thank them
for their support.

Our
next game is a single stableford, again at Gordonvale, so those
playing today should have an advantage!

All,We've been advised the weather at Millaa is atrocious today, with the forecast for more of the same tomorrow, so the game there is cancelled.

We have arranged a game at GORDONVALE instead, as it is in good condition with the drains clear of water (at this stage anyway) except around the bridges. However, there is rough at the bottom of them, so they are best avoided! The greens are also improving.

Friday, 2 September 2016

Our game next week is at Millaa Millaa, so hopefully the weather will be kind for a change.

It is a Patron's Trophy round & a single stableford. (You will no doubt be glad to hear we have no more stroke rounds this year!)

Sponsor for the day is Brothers Leagues Club, but Bob Billingham has kindly added some further interest by donating balls to be awarded for:- half doz balls to NTP from off the green on the 3rd /12th, - least putts for the round, - longest putt holed on 9th/18th, - the NAGA.See you there.LouisPS We're currently working on finalising the Championship results, which will be posted asap.
